FROM STAFF REPORTS

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire volleyball team recenlty inked a pair of recruits.

Demi Muses is a 5-11 middle blocker from Orangevale, Calif. A three-time Capital Valley All-League selection, Muses paced the conference in hitting, kills and digs this past season. Muses led the league in overall scoring as a junior during the 2011-2 campaign.

“Demi brings both fire and athleticism to the court and will be a great addition to our program,” said UNH coach Jill Hirschinger. “Her competitiveness and love for the game is contagious.”

She was named to the Palm Beach Post All-Palm Beach County Second Team as sophomore and was an honorable mention during her freshman and junior campaigns. She also earned Sun Sentinel honorable mention honors as a freshman.
